O’Reilly called Tucker’s piece a “nutty diatribe” and then set the record straight:

First of all, there is no attack on Easter. Only two dumb incidents, one in St. Paul, Minnesota, where a secretary was asked to take down decorations featuring the Easter Bunny. And one in Georgia, where an Easter event was changed to a Spring event. After pressure, it’s back to an Easter event.

Gosh, where could Tucker have gotten the idea that talk show hosts like O’Reilly claimed Easter was under attack? Bill O’Reilly, 4/11/06:

Although some left-wingers in the media deny it, we have documented a number of cases where Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter have been attacked by secular interests. Lawsuits and corporate policies have proved this point over and over again.

3. I like to start a war on assholes. BlowReilly would be #1 on my list

[Guaranteed]

4. Totally with you. A war on assholism.

Is it wrong to call for Bill O'Reilly's tarring and feathering?

5. He had to issue an official denial, he's deep undercover

6. well, it's been 3 days

so, Republicans can flip-flop over that time frame and it's not a flip-flop. It's a strategic re-evaluation of his position on a complex issue due to ever evolving data.
